Evidence / storm surfaces
How Lubbock saw the hail — from two instruments
Aug 13, 2026 · Lubbock, TX
Two instruments, one storm: NEXRAD logs the point signatures it detected overhead, while the estimated-size surface models how large the hail aloft could have grown. Agreement between them is not guaranteed — the gaps are where the model ran ahead of, or behind, the detections.
Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Estimated size field Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.
Max size
0.75"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Aug 13, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Lubbock, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Aug 13, 2026 sits in Lubbock's hail record.
This was Lubbock's 12th recorded hail day, arriving 26 days after the Jul 18, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 7th of the 12 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Lubbock at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Aug 13, 2026 convective day was bigger than Lubbock: the same system put hail over 437 other tracked cities, 21 of them in Texas. Nearest: Wolfforth (4 miles southwest, up to 0.75"); Shallowater (13 miles northwest, up to 0.75"); Abernathy (19 miles northeast, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 12 Lubbock storm dates on a live map — both surfaces, the reports, and a replay — and the same map is where you draw the swath. This page rebuilds nightly.

Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Lubbock roofs.
A signal this size sits near the National Weather Service severe threshold. Aging shingles and soft metals such as vents, flashing, and gutters may be more vulnerable; roof age, wind, and material condition all matter, and only an inspection can confirm damage.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
4,226 homes × $12,000 avg. claim
Potential roof exposure
$51M
Potential roof exposure — 4,226 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

Close just 0.5% of the 4,226 homes in this footprint at the average $15,000 roof job. Illustrative math, not a projection — your results depend on your outreach and how the market responds.
Claim window
August 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around August 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.

A storm day here is a convective day — it runs from noon to noon
UTC, so late-night hail is grouped with the afternoon storm that
spawned it rather than split across two calendar dates. Ground
reports are public-domain observations from the NOAA Storm
Prediction Center. Radar tells you where to look. Only an inspection confirms damage at an address. Last updated Aug 14, 2026.
